I'm running a complete NMS software bundle with CW2000, CW5.0, Resouce Manager Essential, IPM & MRTG. I have a few serious problems 1. Clock on all the routers, NT logging syslog server are synched, when i make a change in routers configuration an snmp msg/trap is recorded at my NT machine which has an offest of 5 hrs. I've checked the timezones, all the clocks, i've even treid to push the routers clock back, but same problem, any checkpoints that i've missed ? 2. I have a few sites which cannot be configured with SNMP since the end device is not a router, how can i keep track of the link availibility ? I've set an instance in my IPM, it pings that site every 150 sec, gives me a graph/response time but i cant seem to log/view the link failures. 3. Using this bundle of EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE (which i mentioned above) & the SYSLOG Server/traps , how can i generate a report which can be easily read by the topguns:), they simply wanna know which link which was down today/this week/this month & for how many hrs ??? I've tried formattiing the SYSLOG server reports accessible thru my Resource Manager Essential but its the crappiest report generated by any 19th century S/W,, cany anyone help me out here ???
